Free consultation
A 30-minute conversation about what is happening in your leadership context and whether coaching is the right fit. No agenda. No pressure.
You lead well. Underneath, something is costing you
You're carrying decisions, pressure, and the weight of being the person others look to. We work at the level beneath the behaviour, so the change you make is real, not managed.
ICF PCC Coaches · Executive coaching in Canberra, available online.
The pressure does not show on the outside.
You can be trusted, effective, and visibly steady while carrying a level of strain that never reaches the room. You keep delivering, but the load is starting to shape your decisions, your presence, and your capacity in ways that are hard to name.
Some leaders arrive after programmes, 360s, and previous coaching. They understand their patterns well, yet the same reactions still show up when the stakes rise. Knowing the pattern and shifting the pattern are not the same thing.
Others are navigating transition: stepping into broader scope, leading at a new level of complexity, or deciding what the next chapter of leadership should look like. They are not in crisis. They want to think clearly and move deliberately.
Whether you recognise this immediately or are still trying to put language around it, both are the right place to start.
Insight alone rarely creates lasting change. Understanding why a pattern exists does not automatically change how it runs under pressure. We work at the level beneath behaviour, where the pattern is actually being generated.
Who you'll work with.
L3 Coaching was founded by Sarah Burrows, an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), NLP Practitioner and Trainer, with over 1,500 coaching hours. Sarah has a strong scientific background, graduating with a Bachelor of Science before spending 25 years working across pharmaceuticals and health. It is the integration of science and coaching that underpins the L3 Coaching approach bringing real issues to the surface rather than working around them. Beneath behaviour, not around it.
All L3 coaches are trained through an ICF Level 2 school and work within a framework of ongoing supervision and professional development. Your initial consultation ensures you are matched with the right coach for what you're working through.
What we offer
These are the core programmes for leaders. The approach is the same across all of them: beneath the behaviour, not around it. If your situation sits adjacent to any of these, bring it to the consultation.
Executive Coaching
Most leaders who seek coaching are not struggling. They are performing at a level that makes it harder, not easier, to acknowledge what is quietly not working. One-to-one coaching works at the level beneath the behaviour, with what is actually generating the pattern, not just the pattern itself. Your programme is built around what you are working through, not a generic leadership curriculum.

The Executive Reset
You are carrying decisions, pressure, and the accumulated weight of a demanding role. This full-day intensive creates the conditions to work through what is actually underneath it, not around it. Not a strategy session. A day of real work beneath the surface.

Presence Under Pressure
The way you communicate, hold influence, and show up under pressure is often where the quietest strains surface first. This six-week programme works with what is underneath those patterns, so the change shows up where it counts: in the room, under pressure, with the people who depend on your leadership.

How it works
02
Your programme
If it is the right fit, your coach will outline a programme built around what you are working through, your responsibilities, and your schedule. Not a generic leadership programme applied to everyone in your position.
03
Real change
Work that goes beneath behaviour. When the patterns shift, the change is real, not managed.
This starts with a conversation.
A free 30-minute consultation, not a sales call. We'll listen to what is going on, be honest about whether coaching is the right fit, and if it is, outline what working together could look like.
If it isn't the right fit, we'll tell you that too.

In their own words
After my first session, I saw immediate results. Sarah helped me become a more confident leader and empowered me to take control of my career and happiness.
Sarah's gentle approach created a safe and healing environment. I am now healing from trauma and creating a peaceful, calm approach to life.
Sarah has supported me through personal and professional change, helping me build stronger boundaries, clearer leadership, and better work-life balance.
Other areas we work with
Leaders often bring pressure that shows up as burnout, anxiety, or persistent sleep disruption. These areas respond to the same approach: working with the underlying patterns so change holds in daily leadership life.
Burnout
High performers can keep functioning long after their system is signalling stop. We work with the identity pressures and internal rules that keep overextension running, so recovery is not temporary.

Sleep
Racing thoughts and broken sleep usually have something driving them. We work with what is underneath, so rest becomes the pattern, not the exception.
Book a Consultation →
Anxiety
Leadership anxiety often hides behind overpreparation, control, and constant mental rehearsal. We work beneath those behaviours so you can think clearly and respond with steadiness when pressure rises.
